In N GA in the 1800’s a lot of people were first or 2nd generation scotch/irish. I can hear a tiny bit of Scottish burr in that confederate lady’s voice. The southern accent has thickened over time.

Correct. The Scots/Irish came to America in a later wave than the original English. They started coming over from around the 1750s into the early 19th century. It would have been interesting to hear what Daniel Boone and Davey Crockett sounded like.

The other night on You Tube, I saw a 1956 segment of What's My Line where the guest was 96 years old and had witnessed the Lincoln Assassination at Ford's Theater when he was five years old. Fascinating, to say the least.
